Good first build for my bro?

[CoolBeans222]

So me and my bro are planning to build our first pc's in 3-4 months and im doing all the research to see whats good/whats bad etc.

For myself i know just about what i want, however my bros build is similar to mine i still want to know if this would meet his needs. both are budgets are 900-1100 USD.

He will mainly be playing titanfall battle field 3-4 dayz etc, he gets about -15 fps with lowest settings and small screen on his crap top, so running on ultra settings with 100 fps isnt a must have for him. just maybe high with 60 fps? would this meet his needs: http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/

Thanks, also if there is any other cheaper parts he can get without cutting performance let me know, also is there any parts here that aren't good? or parts that we're missing?

Thanks for reading!

No problem at all lol.

Okay, the graphics cards are going to be a problem. The power supply you have picked out won't be enough. I would go with at least a 750 watt with gold certification.

However, you would be better off just going with one graphics card anyway. Many games aren't optimized for SLI, and running two mid-range cards in SLI can cause some problems. You'd get better performance if you just bought one more-expensive graphics card. A GTX 770 would be perfect and should still work with your current power supply.

You're kidding right? i have a bronze 80+ 550w that powers a 7870 overclocked and a fx 8320 at 4.8 ghz which draws x2.5 the power of i5 3570, and there's still plenty left, if he's gonna go with a "gold 750 watt" then he should also get gtx 770 sli cuz otherwise it would be a waste.

A 550w will not power two graphics cards in SLI. If he really wants to SLI, he needs a bigger power supply. But I'm recommending he get one 770 instead of two slower graphics cards, which would allow him to use the 500w psu he's already picked out.

I did... I don't understand what I'm getting wrong. Two cards in SLI will always use more power than one overclocked card.
